Swiggy, India’s leading on-demand convenience platform, has launched “International Logins,” a new feature enabling users from 27 countries, including the U.S., Canada, Germany, U.K., Australia, and the UAE, to access its services using their international phone numbers. This feature, which is now a permanent offering, allows Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) to seamlessly order food, shop on Swiggy Instamart, and book tables through Swiggy Dineout.
Users can conveniently make payments using international credit cards or UPI options, providing flexibility for those staying connected with loved ones in India. Phani Kishan, Swiggy’s co-founder and Chief Growth Officer, stated that the feature was introduced in response to demand from users who previously enjoyed Swiggy while living in India or during visits. It allows them to send gifts, order groceries, and deliver essentials to family members back home, especially during festive occasions.
The launch comes ahead of the festive season, catering to families looking to share moments and celebrations, such as sending Diwali sweets, booking anniversary tables, or gifting thoughtful surprises during Bhai Dooj and Christmas. The platform aims to make it easier for NRIs to stay involved in family celebrations and ensure their loved ones in India feel cared for.
